In this episode, Aman and Aadil break down how Aadil landed three $200K-plus AI engineering offers in just 60 days — and what the job search really looks like at the top end of tech. They dive into why startups often beat Big Tech early in your career, the broken incentives of the CS industrial complex, and why so many CS grads still struggle to get hired.
They also explore the deeper philosophy behind their approach: progressive overload applied beyond the gym, the truth about genetics vs effort, and why a results-focused mindset matters whether you’re lifting, learning, or interviewing.
A grounded look at high-performance careers, deliberate strategy, and the systems that actually move your life forward.

In this episode, Aman and Aadil explore the philosophy of outcomes over process, discussing everything from sugar addiction and stroopwafels to the Mike Israetel PhD controversy. They reflect on arbitrary life choices made in childhood, like picking musical instruments and how strategic thinking about long-term value should guide decisions. The brothers also open up about balding and hair loss treatments, advocating for pragmatic solutions over ego-driven "natural" approaches.
Throughout, they champion a results-focused mindset: there's no virtue in struggling unnecessarily when effective tools exist, whether that's finasteride for hair loss, coaching for med school, or creatine for muscle gain.
